Alzheimer's research

We help fund the passionate and dedicated staff in the Centre
for Research in Biosciences to pioneer new techniques to tackle
Alzheimer’s.

In the UK, cancer research gets eight times as much funding as
dementia. By making a donation today, you could not only help
find a cure but inspire others to give, so dementia research can
receive the same support.

With the number of dementia sufferers (the most common form
being Alzheimer's) in the UK today estimated at 800,000, it is one
of the greatest problems facing society in the 21st century. The
current cost of dementia to the UK economy is
£26 billion a year.

“It is estimated that there will be 34 million people suffering
from dementia worldwide by 2025. It is critical that we gain better
insights into Alzheimer’s so we can come closer to understanding
how to develop treatments that may delay or even prevent its
progression.”

Dr Myra Conway, Centre for Research in
Biosciences, UWE Bristol.

Leading nations have pledged to find a cure or treatment by
2025, but this will not happen unless we invest in our leading
researchers, like those at UWE Bristol.
